Someone In Brooklyn Got A "Survived The Quake" Tattoo :(

via Citizen Ink's Facebook

Really, Brooklyn? Citizen Ink Studios in Sheepshead Bay is offering up a "Survived the Quake" tattoo to their customers... and people are getting it! 25-year-old owner Joe Khay says it took him five minutes to sketch the design, which he posted on Facebook and was meant to be a joke. But Jonathan Berg, a 21-year-old regular customer, came in and got the design permanently inked onto his torso for $30.

Berg told the Daily News, "It was just that people were freaking out. It was just a minor thing, and people were making it into a serious subject. I thought that was pretty hilarious."

Apparently three others have asked for the quake tattoo, but maybe they should hold out for the Hurricane Irene one.

"Survived the line at shake shack" would be just as impressive.

Did I say impressive? I meant pathetic.

Shouldn't that be a picture of Virginia? Or maybe the text should read, "I survived a gentle rocking."

Jeez. Looks like a prison tattoo.

If you're going to get a tattoo at least get a real tattoo artist to do it for you.

if it actually took him all of 5 minutes to draw that, he should have taken the time to consult a map. that NYS looks like a Klan member.
